Surveyor recommended washing and then rinsing with fabric softener(?).

Yes. I do it regularly. It will take the stiffness out. Make a daisy chain of the line then you can wash it easily without a tangled mess. It goes in the dryer just fine too (not with the clothes or you might raise a few eyebrows at home).

I am trying to get a feel for how major a project this will be.

CNG is getting harder to find. Propane takes an external locker vented overboard with no connection to down below plus a solenoid controller. If you can manage the propane locker then forget about CNG. Propane is the hottest (temperature wise). It cooks like natural gas at home.

I am getting some conflicting advice on this ranging from 9000 BTU to 16000 BTU

16000 is maybe overkill unless you are in a really hot area. I had 9,000 on a boat about that size and it could have been more. 12,000 would probably be about right. we had solid glass decks and when it was wicked hot you could not get the temp down during the daylight.
